Resolve 'Download failed' in Zendesk Explore exports
How can I resolve the 'Download failed' error when exporting large reports in Explore?
To resolve the 'Download failed' error when exporting large reports in Explore, try narrowing the report's scope. The error often occurs because the export service times out when handling large amounts of data.
You can reduce the data size by applying a date filter over a smaller timespan or adding more attributes to filter the report. This helps the export service process the data without timing out, allowing for a successful export.
